This HDMI to Component Cable doesn't exist because:

1. HDMI is digital with pulses and component is analog with waveforms so an HDMI to Component Cable won't work
2. HDMI has 19 pins and component + audio has only 5 so an HDMI to Component Cable won't work
3. HDMI has the HDCP copy protection signal whereas there is no component equivalent so an HDMI to Component Cable won't work
4. A cable is a passive device made up of 2 connectors, solder and wires. It cannot convert one digital signal into another analog signal so an HDMI to Component Cable won't work

Don't buy an HDMI to Component Cable from anyone as it doesn't work!
